Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aortic valve: This valve has three leaflets. They open to let blood flow from your heart’s left ventricle to the aorta. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in your body. It brings oxygenated blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle connects nearly all organ systems through its function to pump oxygenated blood to the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aortic Valve Opens to allow blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle through the aorta and the body. Prevents the backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.
